Adding RPR and MPLS to Existing SONET using Virtual Concatenation and GFP
RPR can be deployed over existing SONET capacity to create a shared ring that efficiently delivers bursty data and specifically Ethernet services; this note shows how these protocols interoperate.

The How and Why of Packetized Transport Networks
Technologies like Virtual Concatenation , LCAS and GFP can be used with RPR, Ethernet and MPLS to evolve todayÕs SONET/SDH transport networks for efficient operation in a packet-centric environment and this note provides details on how this done and why it makes sense
